Check with the city first
- Many homes with a Kissimmee mailing address are in unincorporated Osceola County and get service from Waste Management, so use the city limits lookup before following city rules.
- The city's two solid waste pages list different bulk pickup rates, so ask the Solid Waste Division at 407-518-2507 what you will be billed before you set items out.
- Neither the city nor the county page we read names the landfill that takes Kissimmee household garbage, and fees at the St. Cloud Transfer Station were not posted, so call ahead before hauling a load yourself.
- Holiday dates and free disposal days change every year, and hours can shift after storms, so recheck the current schedule.
We left these out because we could not read them on an official page when we checked:
- Landfill used for Kissimmee household garbage
- St. Cloud Transfer Station fees and residency rules
- Kissimmee bulk pickup rate
- Kissimmee basic residential service billing period
